Can We Avoid War, When the Peace Loving Side Wants the Other Side Dead?
Can we avoid war when one side feels like they will all be killed if the other side wins?
Can we avoid war when the two sides believe a completely opposite viewpoint of the other?
Can we avoid war when one side wants freedom, and the other side wants security?
Can we avoid war when a third side wants the two to destroy each other?
These are not easy questions because the answer requires several facts to be decided upon.
And yes, we are arguing over facts. "How can we argue over facts?", you might say. But, here we are.
"What is a woman?" is one such question.
"When does life start?" is another.
"Am i my brother's keeper?" is really deep.
Can we avoid war when one side feels like they will all be killed if the other side wins?
Right now, the woke feel (literally) that if the conservatives win that they will be rounded up and put into camps.
This is weird because the conservatives do not want to enslave anyone. Their motto is "you can do what you want" (but they mean, over there, and not in my face.) So, if the Woke never demanded a "Pride" month, conservatives wouldn't care at all.
However, the Woke want everyone to believe like them. And that, they feel, is done by shoving it in their face (the Woke mind seems to lack the ability to be subtle) The Woke want everyone to agree that degeneracy is good.
The war comes about if the conservatives ever truly link Woke and degeneracy. Because, after they do, there will be a holy war to stomp out degeneracy to save what is good and holy. Because, the Christians believe that this level of sin leads to civilization destruction, just like Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Woke believe a woman is whatever you define it as. Conservatives believe a woman is a birthing person.
But this isn't the real issue. Conservatives like to conserve meanings of words. And the Woke do not want to leave anyone out (meaning they might get left out) no matter what they believe. Unfortunately, the "not leaving anyone out" means enforcing the ambiguity, which leaves out anyone who wants a clear definition.
The conservatives believe a fetus is an unborn baby. The Woke state that it is just a bundle of cells. (I do not really know what they actually believe)
Both sides have taken a stand, and declared a definition that supports their viewpoint. Why is it not pro-life and anti-life? Or pro-choice and anti-choice? And neither side makes allowances. In fact, can they make allowances? When an inch given means you lose.
One side wants to be able to choose to kill the unborn child whenever they feel it is in their best interest. The other side wants the bundle of cells to be carried full term. And few people want to talk about gray areas, or working out solutions. (the solutions are things like making sure expectant mothers are fully taken care of, financially and physically. This also means keeping young women away from bad boys, usually by force)
Can we avoid war when one side wants freedom, and the other side wants security?
The Woke want no one to be without food and shelter. Unfortunately, they usually also choose life paths and skills that are not about creating food or building houses. So, what they want is other's to provide.
Conservatives usually want to be left alone, and will provide for themselves.
These have deep implications. As the Woke feel like the are being starved and left out in the cold by those who have the food and shelter. And the conservatives feel burdened by having to support those people who don't have a real job.
Security cannot be demanded from others, and freedom cannot be given by others.

And here is the real problem. There is a force that is doing their best to divide people and keep them from working things out.
Such as, long ago we should have come to common sense abortion laws. But, today we have post birth abortion laws, and on the other hand, no abortions ever, for any reasons. We have come to this point by the two, furthest sides being amplified, and anyone offering solutions being silenced.
We have seen this on the U-crane - Russia kerfuffle. All the news says "Russia attacked unprovoked", but anyone who has looked into it has seen 10 years of provocation. And, this biased coverage happens with every conflict. If you watch foreign news, you will often get a complete different story than your local news.
And these news stories aren't accidental. The pattern is obvious. Someone is behind them pulling the strings, or just writing the news for the news readers.
If we want to stop war, we need to realize that there is this 3rd side that wants war. And we need to put a spotlight on them and what they are doing.
After that, we need to actually start trying to communicate. Learn what our "enemy" really wants, and how we might be able to give it to them. AND THEN! have them see what it actually costs. When you give something, a balanced trade demands that something of equal value (to them) be returned.
The problem in the war between Woke and Conservatives is that it will be over if it ever really starts. The side that is not growing food loses. The side that encourages degeneracy loses (they self destruct), if they do not have a virtuous counterpart propping them up.
I hope that we can work this out before too much more blood shed or complete self destruction by one side or the other.
